The brainchild of AKITA co-founder Patrick Buckley, Culture Shift is returning for a third installment this upcoming Saturday at Snug Harbor.
Records On The Wall is giving away three pairs of tickets to the event. Just tag a friend and share the post via Facebook. Winners will be announced on Friday the 14th.
Culture Shift is an ever evolving party showcasing the best of local and regional bands and artists within the Funk, Hip-Hop, Jam band, Reggae and Soul genres.
If their Culture Shift II show this past July at the Rabbit Hole was any indication of the future success of their event, expect a packed house this time around at Snug Harbor.
“Culture Shift 3 will be our 1st one with an out of town act on the bill, Cosmic Shift, of Nashville. The eventual goal is for Culture Shift to become an annual or semi-annual festival, so this 3rd one lines up with our goal of starting to bring more regional talent to the event” — Patrick Buckley
Culture Shift III will be the first Christmas Edition for the band. Expect a live Santa in the building along with a 6 foot Nutcracker!
AKITA
AKITA is a 6 piece funk band out of Charlotte, NC.
Taking cues from legendary funk bands such as James Brown, The Meters, Lettuce, Maceo Parker, Vulfpeck, Sly & The Family Stone, George Clinton, Tower of Power and others they infuse a new twist on funk incorporating reggae and elements of funk-rock into their songs.
MENASTREE
Menastree is a jazz/funk/soul/hip-hop ensemble from Charlotte, NC.
Menastree draws from a diverse lineup of musicians who fuse the line between various musical genres and in-turn create a musical performance all their own. Each performance showcases the bands improvisational chops along with breaks and dynamics that would make any funk or hip-hop aficionado take notice.
COSMIC SHIFT
Cosmic Shift is a jam band out of Nashville, Tennessee.
Some have described their sound as space funk, though it can range wildly through many genres. Cosmic Shift seeks to prove to the audience that each one of them is just as important to the creative collaboration as any person on stage. Deep improvisation is a vehicle that allows each show to have a unique flavor.
